Guru -> panzer divs in corps (10/17/2011 8:49:56 PM)

Hi there

new to the game, just wanting to throw in my two cents

apart from comments that have been relayed by others elsewhere, I noticed that I tended to maximize good armour leaders by gathering three or more panzer divs in one corps. However, german corps VERY rarely had two, never more, and from 42 on I think they actually had no more than one: Panzer divs had considerable logistic weight...
I thoughyt maybe the command value of a panzer div could be doubled for each one beyond the first otre something like that...

I am not sure that is maximising the leader capabilities. AFAIK the mech rating is used for motorized divisions as well.

Playing as Axis you never seem to have enough Corp HQ support. By the middle of 1942 you will have some infantry corps with 4 or 5 divisions and all of your Panzer corps will have 3 divisions. Your armies will also be overloaded and its a real problem when 11th army HQ leaves.

Its just how it is. It would be nice if as Axis you could scratch together a few HQS for emergencies like was done historically but that is no option for that [:@]

Now I wish I didn't disband the 3 RHQ at the beginning. They are Army HQ, even though named funny. I would imagine they would function as well any other army HQ depending on the commander.

One thing I recently discovered; all the security divisions that you split up into regiments to garrison city's count as 3 CP against the army groups. You can spend 1 AP each to move them to OKH and take command load off of the AG.

I'm also trying putting the Romanians under their own AG; probably not a good idea but AG South was so overloaded.

Nope, you can only attach security divisions to them, which have limited offensive and defensive capabilities.

p144 SECTION 7.6.2.

No wonder everyone disbands them.

"Note that only Security type combat units can be attached to an Axis RHG HQ unit."
